Firstly, paper brings analytical cross-fertilization between studies emerging field development, proposing a combined framework based on four dimensions: structural features, actors, timing spatiality resources employed innovation. Secondly, it contributes...
The fundamentals contribution of multi-hazard assessment lies in its ability to guide and identify directions for territorial development, aiming reduce vulnerability through the implementation appropriate measures. In present study, Multi-Criteria Decision Making supported by Geographic Information System was utilized solve spatial problems related sprawl. Considering this perspective, an analysis conducted on susceptibility land occurrence geo hazards Moldova catchment, situated...
Abstract The Covid‐19 pandemic had a varied impact on different regions in Europe, resulting diverse policy responses from subnational governments.

The multidisciplinary approach outlined in this paper aims to assess the correlation between geophysical and social vulnerability for disaster risk reduction. To achieve this, two multi-criteria methods based on Geographic Information Systems (GIS) techniques have been integrated natural hazards North-East Development Region. Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) was utilized conduct a comprehensive hazard analysis, including floods, landslides, earthquakes. Principal Component Analysis (PCA)...
The nexus between local governments’ budgets and regional growth is a complex one, with organic interconnections, ideally offering better outcomes, both in the matter of (local) fiscal consolidation welfare societies.
